They put up a few statues and went on their way. Nothing there...end of story.
Grafitti...nothing more.
Of course I've had scant response on my views.
If only they'd all driven Priuses.
I wish I had all the money that has been spent studying Easter Island and the paper used in printing these Thesies on what happened could re-forestate the place.
Do most normal humans really care?
Bush knew, Dude!
I think those Easter Islanders worshipped Zippy the Pinhead as their god.
Actually the original statues looked quite different.
First of all, they had hats of reddis vulcanic stone.
Secondly, they had eyes of i thought, white coral.
The eyes also had a sideways finish, like the eye of Horus.
And maybe the statue was painted im not sure.
Shaped a little like Iwo Jima... another rotten roadhouse on the Pacific Highway.

http://www.rongorongo.org/pix/eyes.html The original statues would have looked a lot more impressive. Also, most of the statues have sunk into the ground, they are full body statues not busts.
Not quite One pedant can make a difference
I keep posting articles too late. Way too late.
I'll just lay of the posting for now.
"Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it."
FReepmail me to be added or removed to the ECO-PING list!
I know its a repeat but I missed it yesterday. I always thought the concept of an ecological footprint was somewhat amusing. At what point do humans get removed from the ecosystem? What is a sustainable footprint? What size footprints do other species have?

Figure Your Ecological Footprint:

(My) choice means the following:
"You believe that every person should be able to live a satisfying life within an average of 3.64 acres. Worldwide, the biologically productive space available per person is 2.2 hectares, or 5.4 acres. Hence, it requires 4.4 Earths to support each member of the present human population at your standard of living."
Well, I guess I'll go back and change a few answers so I can give everyone the full 5.4 acres they deserve, LOL!
Actually, I consume 37% LESS than others do, according to this (bogus) quiz. I can live with myself. ;)
Hence, it requires 4.87 Earths to support each member of the present human population at your standard of living.
I did even worse than you. That is probably due to the fact I currently live in a large city. Now I'm going to go back and take the quiz answer it with all the proper answers...wonder if its possible to be sustainable?
well the results are in...according to this website its impossible to live sustainably.
"Your choice means the following:
You believe that every person should be able to live a satisfying life within an average of 1.47 hectares.
Worldwide, the biologically productive space available per person is 2.2 hectares, or 5.4 acres.
Hence, it requires 1.44 Earths to support each member of the present human population at your standard of living."
I'm not surprised...are you? LOL!
Now, spend the rest of your day flogging yourself for being such a bad, evil "Crunch Conservative." It's the very LEAST you can do to pay for your unforgiveable sin of living and breathing on this planet.
P.S. You can also ease your guilt by writing a big, fat check to The Sierra Club. ;)
It would appear to a logical observer that the deforestation was deliberate, to make their 'gods' appear more powerful.
